Presents calculation method for heat transfer in coupled convective-conductive fluid-wall systems under periodical intensity oscillations in fluid flow. This book demonstrates that the true steady-state mean value of the heat transfer coefficient has to be multiplied by a newly defined coupling factor. more...

This book presents the theory of periodic conjugate heat transfer in a detailed way. The effects of thermophysical properties and geometry of a solid body on the commonly used and experimentally determined heat transfer coefficient are analytically presented from a general point of view. The main objective of the book is a simplified description of... more...
